Kars AlfrinkMarch 12, 2016A spacious, breezy and clean center in a suburban setting with lots of great food. Enjoyed the sliced fish soup, prawn mee and carrot cake. Will be coming back to sample more.
TingApril 5, 2016Having tried all the coffee stalls here, the best brew goes to Cambridge Coffee Stall (#01-06) that is facing the HDB shops.
Go for Cambridge Road HK Roast. The lady was very friendly, and the roast pork and char siew were great, topped with a good soup and veg all for $3. Super value for money.
Mushroom vegetable noodles. Soon Huat Wanton Noodle #01-04 will gladly sell you a vegetarian plate of just mushrooms and vege, for the same price of their other dishes, $3.50
Mag TYJuly 7, 2017My 1st time here and I am wowed by the variety of excellent food options. Love the prawn noodles (no MSG taste), hong kong chee cheong fun and carrot cake.- Sample Prof Tommy Koh's faves fr this food centre: fish head soup noodle #01-46, Hokkien mee #01-40, and fried carrot cake #01-20. Source: The Sunday Times
- Chicken rice. Uncle Louis Famous Chicken Rice #01-05 is a welcome addition to the food scene at this neighborhood. It has all the basics right: fragrant rice, succulent meats. This set $3.50
Terence LeeNovember 12, 2012Good Spice Carrot Cake, worth the queue... $1.50 - $4.00, generous amt if eggs... :)
- Fried carrot cake: There r 2 white carrot cake stalls but clearly 1 winner: d 1 run by an old but spritely man (Good Spice #01-20) He's been dishg it out 4 @ least 20 yrs! Join d q ;-)
- HerWorldPlus recommends: fish soup noodles fr Ng Seng Heng #46, Pin Wei Hong Kong Style Chee Cheong Fun #25, Wah Kee Big Prawn Noodles #15, hor fun fr Tong Siew Fried Rice #23
- Fried butterfly dough & peanut ball. Bought from Delisnacks #01-24 at 7:30am on a Sunday. Both items were cold. For 90-cents each, I’d rather get the peanut pancake (60-cents) nearby for freshness
TiffanyApril 14, 2019Many good options for local Singaporean eats. Opens early so good for breakfast hours.
- "Pek Kio" means white bridge in Hokkien. There were 2 such bridges spanning over Kampong Java Canal. U can still find these bridges opposite KK Hospital. Source: Info panel at the market
It's super hard to find anything (that's tasty) for dinner because all the stalls close very early.- Rice porridge. Comfort food offered by Ou Yuan #01-07. Your order freshly cooked each time. Usual protein options of pork, chicken, fish, egg, century egg
- Dinner options limited. On a typical day, 10 stalls r open: 5 drinks stalls, & 5 food stalls (Indian, fried kuay teow/oysters, fried rice/hor fun, fish bee hoon, zi char) :-(
Shannon LowDecember 16, 2022Great hawker centre with cheap prices and amazing selection of good tasty food. Recommend Wah Kee prawn noodles, Heng Leong carrot cake, braised duck, You tiao and soya bean curd.- TingAugust 14, 2014A serene neighbourhood food centre just outside city centre. Kind of a destination as it is situated near but not along major roads. Goreng Pisang is very good here. LE Bakery nearby also popular.
- Vegetarian options: vegetarian beehoon, you tiao (fried fritters), chee cheong fun (rice rolls), pancake, Indonesian kueh, yong tau foo, fruits, friedcarrot cake, beancurd, chwee kueh, prata, yam cake
- Prawn noodles: 2 stalls 2 choose. Taukehs eat @ Wah Kee #01-15. Soup is thick & has a kick. The other #01-41 is run by young couple & comes w kangkong vege. U can ask 4 boiled pigskin, chilli powder
Matthew KeeFebruary 10, 2018Hong Kong Style Chee Cheong Fun is really The best in town, even better than what I had in HK. It's freshly made and so soft.- There's a SingPost postbox near the food centre. @ corner facing the pedestrian crossing. Mon-Thu 5pm collection. Fri 6pm. No mail collection on weekends
- Kopi (local coffee): Remember d Soup Nazi in Seinfeld? Look 4 Kopi Nazi @ this mkt. New Fashion #01-39. His premium blended java brew is thick & generous. Premium, but still affordable prices too ;-)
This is only a daytime (morning, lunch and afternoon) market. You won't find much here in the evenings.- Sliced fish soup. A popular stall, Delicacy Fish Soup #01-03 prepares fresh bowls of seafood soup. $5 for this bowl of plain sliced fish
- Did u know? Pek Kio was once a 1,000 acre sugarcane plantation (1 acre = 16 tennis courts!), owned by Joseph Balestier, America's 1st consul to Singapore. Source: Info panel at market
- Chunky chai tow kway (fried carrot cake). Heng Leong #01-13 serves this style but their white version tends to be bland
- Duck porridge: Did u know d stall selling kway chap #01-38 also sells very comforting $2 duck porridge? Delicious & just d right portion if u dun really hv a big appetite
Traditional Carrot Cake, visit Good Spice Carrot Cake. Cheap, Tasty & best of all, Generous eggs serving! A $3/- order comes w/4 eggs! Note: Long queue as it's a one old man team doing cook to order.- Wantan mee: There are 2 wantan noodles stalls. 1 serves with black soy sauce, ala Malaysian style (#01-44); the other's (#01-04) mee kia is springier
- Roasted meat: Wonder wat d long q @ Xin Heng Kee Chicken & Duck Rice stall #01-14 is all abt? Fresh, succulent & value 4 money. Plus young couple owners v cheery lot :-)
- Mi chiam kueh (Chinese pancake): Die die must q up & buy some @ Yean Heng Pancake #01-32. Go 4 their fresh grounded peanut filling
- Wantan mee. New contender Zhong Ji Delicacy #01-35 is drawing a constant curious queue. Sauce is thick & sweet, not my preferred style. Wantans could be more refined
Very spacious hawker centre. Relaxed atmosphere. Be there early for black carrot cake.
Vincent AngAugust 1, 2015This stall facing the row of shops has a nice texture for their fish balls, more homemade style . Noodles were ok but their chiili, soya sauce & vinegar lacked the 'punch' 😩
- Kedongdong fruit juice. Savour this rare-in-S'pore drink @ #01-27. Also known as umbra (or ampulla in Penang) or balonglong, dis ice-cold, sour drink is gr8 on hot days!
- Spacious & lofty after the upgrading. Popular with parents after they drop off kids in nearby schools
- Hainanese curry rice. Did not enjoy my plate from Yuan Kee #01-43. Rice was clumpy. Fried foldover egg was butchered. Pork chop was hard to chew
- Kaya toast set. Three stalls offer this breakfast set, with the cheapest & creamy kaya from Wang Wang @ $2.50
- Fried Hokkien Prawn Noodles. I felt the version from 郑兴四炒 #01-02 lacked flavour & was overly watery, compared to Sheng Seng #01:40
Try the prawn noodles and chee cheong fan ! Favorite breakfast place
Melvin CMay 27, 2013One of the few places in sg where you can find $1.50 fried carrot cake. Try the freshly made Chee Cheong fan too.
Jaclyn ChooMarch 15, 2013Pek kio seafood delights stall serves yummy fish soup. Their yam rice are fragrant and the chap chai is delish!
Old-school hawker with reasonable prices and good quality food.- Vadai (fried Indian donut) @ #01-08 is yummy, v light when it's just fried. Can't stop @ 1 :-)
- Soon Kee Wanton Mee & Opposite Economic Bee Hoon/Mee are worth mentioning for revisits again. SK's Wanton Mee Chili is extremely spicy, extreme care needed! Regards, Foodie Connoisseur.
- Weiye TanNovember 17, 2010Prawn noodles #01-45 big fresh and clean prawns! Also nice soup with fresh garlic. Run by boss of #01-35 Seafood Delights so you know it's good! :D
Bernard ChuaAugust 4, 2013Old Skool Wanton Mee by Soon Kee. Chilli paste is thick and spicy. Opt for black sauce for non-chilli lovers.
